I didn’t get to go snowshoeing all winter. There was never enough snow. We went out to Utah Lake. Henry did not want to go, but by the end, he was enjoying himself immensely. Going on adventures is often like that. It was a good hike: with tree climbing, birdwatching, hide-and-seek, and throwing rocks in the water.

Later, we went up into the mountains and found a small bit of snow to sled and make a snowman. It was a bit lackluster compared to other times I’ve been to this location due to the lack of snow. The final hike of the winter was to a waterfall up Provo Canyon. It was a beautiful hike. But also, no snow. I quite enjoyed spending time outside, but next year I’m hoping to enjoy a winterwonderland every once in a while.

We had a good Valentine’s Day. I always make Valentine’s for the kids and Joe, and we’ll do something fun for breakfast. This year was coffee cake muffins and donuts. Basketball season has wrapped up, Peter’s really done well, and Curtis has improved a lot. We went up to the Olympic Park, which is a fun thing to do during the Winter Olympics.
